There seemed to bo a ^oocl deal-of intbrest, and I went-joiit quite rejoiced. An old num followed ine; I never mot hini since, nor sa^v him ljeforo, but, , ho j;ot liold of . my hand and gave mo.some advice, lie said : "Young man, when .you speak again, honor tilt; Holy Ghost." 1 was hastening Oil" tp another church to speak, u:id the. words kept ringing in my mind, - j <* hoxou Tin: holy ciiost." Llllink all that have been to work in tlio vineyard of tho Lord have leaj-ned the truth of that-lesson, and if not, tho quicker tliu bettor ; because if.wi^ hoiior Kim 'lip' will htiiior us, but it' wo don't Jionor Jiim, it is surely the work of tho flo.-di and won't stand. Tho only work which will s+and through eter nity is what is- done through the J .Holy Ghost., and evojy conversion in these mi.-e.tinos'-that is not by the power of the-'Holy Ghost won't stand. They may have got impres- .sions which will bust for 11 few days, jiijul thonrj>nss away; but 1 um or.o ;of those who firmly believe that if they are sealed to'theday ofredoTiip- tion, we shall see tliein in Heaven. I war.t now to call your attention to the Holy Ghost as a, person. do sb-'mnny complain of tho'cold- fioKs of the Church ? It ia . pKCKVHll WB HAVK NOT Tills -LOVE. Lisli night, if you woro-over at that young converts ineoting, you would have soeiVjpy and lovo on <!tich' faco, lV-i-hups (;hey wore there from oig'ht to'ten nationalities, but all told ono story of love. - It is a counterfeit conversion If ithi\vo not that -spirit. Even they won't be found finding fault with tho Church, for when a man in full of tho Holy Ghost lie "is tljo very last found complain ing of other peojdo. I want to say right-here, that I find a good many people liavo got into the habit of just ticolding. A. man told mo ho -went to a certain meeting to give theiui a blast every time he had a chaneo.- As-he told liie,. I thought that if ho just got one look at him self he'd talk differently. When, a iniin is warm himself, he won't talk" about how. cold j overyonQ else is. Iliat pa what' the Holy Ghost does imparts love.

Nowj whenever Christ spoke of the Holy Ghost Ho spoke as of a person, not as of a mere in fluence, and we won't honor tho Holy Ghost unless ! wo. make Hiui as one of '."' THE. PERSONS OF THE TRINITY. , When Christ got ready to go .away He taught His^ disciples to go and i baptize nil nations in "tho name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the.Holy Ghost. Now we get life [through the jlloly Ghost. We would not know'Christ if it was not [for- the Holy Ghost, who "imparts life; and not only that, but if you turn over to 1st Peter, iii., 18, you will find that Christ was raised by tho power of the Spirit. And every dead soul that he has. brought to life has been.brought by the power of the Holj Ghost. TLoj' are deaof in sin until the Holy Ghost brings them to life; for a man J3as:. no power tp serve God until quickened by.the Holy Ghost. Dead souls must be raised and then they can! serve God.,! Well, the work of the Holy Spirit is also to impart'Jove 5 : "And hope ninketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in / our hearts by which is givcii unto us." Now the first fruit wo look for in the young convert is love. What do we as Christians need to-day? Whnt is tho great lack of tho. Church J -Why have just got as far as the third of JolinJ that is all. They don't know anything about liberty to speak fdrGod. A friend of mine in speaking-of a boarding house said he could always tell Who are the boarders and who are the cliildreii. The ....._ boarders come in and eat/their meals C'ilrist ' """' sni' ""thing at all about household fl,-, " affairs. By-and-by the son of the family. Ivncii comes in,! and he asks if there'are any letters oij- how Mary is. So with the Church of God ; it has got a lot of boarders Iwho don't take any interest about the; Lord's work. They hear one sermon on .Sunday morning and criticise it,-they-i*ay their debts'and keep out of jail, but as to lifting up the Son of God, THEY NEVER THINK OK THAT. A friend of mine down in Natchez be fore the [war went out riding with a frieucL 'They saw an old skive coming towards the'ni, and one of them says, "Let's have a little fun with him." There' was a ,8ign-post there on which was written; " Forty miles to'. Liberty." One of-them said, " Sambo, how old are you?" "jl guess I am eiehty," was the reply.- "|Cau you read?" he was. then asked. He said he could not, but he knew wh it was written on tha.t sign post. They then asked him whylie did not take, that course and escape. The old man's (countenance changed. \ "That is a sham ; but that which points .up. to the liberty wherewith'Christ set us frea is no sjmm," he said. That remark was the means:of that young man's conver- ' siou. Now ; the Holy Gho3t casts out the spirit of fear. There should be per fect liberty in our prayer-meetings and all cmr- social meetings. How1 long would it be before there would bc:a per fect reformation if all .Christians would act in this "way. A friend of mine, a minister, asked n judge to. go out with hini to a sehdol .house where he was go ing to preach. On tho way he said to the judge, "won't you speak to these people ? Tho judgo shook his head and said ho coidd not. ' "Now why can!t you!" said my friend, "you speak in tho court and ^ou find no trouble in it; suppose youijust try." When ho got out there I10 just- began questioning tho judge. Thejspirit of God came ujion |him with mighty power in what ho said. There wers a good many inquirers. That man has been a working Christian over since. Why, a mail who has been a .professed Christian for throe years,' wa$ asked to pray the other night. I notiSo ho liesi- -tated n littlo jtt first, and then got lip. Last night lie told a friend that ho has got a fresh baptism since ho. opened his Tips. Now, would, you turn to John xvi, 8 : "And when He is como He will reprove tho world of sin." What is tho work of tho Holy Ghost and wliy is it that when tho Holy Ghost wakes up some men'; they get bo angry? Why, "I liavo often: [heard of "persons wlio'se hair was whitened through, excessive fear, but as I never saw myBelf anyone so affected I am dis-' posed to be creduiousron the sub- ject." =_=,' The above remark was made to Dr. Jinynayd as we sat on the. piazza of his pretty villa discussing the. different, effects of terroron dis similar temperaments. Without replying to me, the doctor turrred to his wife and Said : ' Helen, w:ill you please to relate to my old friend, the incident with in your own experience. It>is tha most convincing argument |I_ can advance." '" . I looked at Sirs. JIaynard iri'siir-r piise. I had observed that her h-air,- which was luxuriant and dressed very becomingly, "was purely color-, less, but as she was a. young woman, and also a very pretty one, I sur mised that it was powdered to heighten the brilliancy of her Sine dark eyes.! '. -!" j The doctor ,and I had been friends, and fellow-students, Lbut after leaving college we had drifted apart; I to eOmmence pmctico-in an eastern city, he to pilrsub his profession in a growing jtbwn in tho West. I was now on a visit to him for the first time since bis J marriage. .-,'.' JIi's.. Maynard, no defihtr-ceading my supposition by/m'y' look of in credulity, smiled as~"she shook down her snowy .tresses over J^er," should ders, and- seating herself byTiehus band's side, related' the following episode:' . '.;..; "It is how' nearly two: years -since my husband was called on, to visit a patient several miles away. Our domestics bad all goiie to a 'wake' in the vicinity, tLfedead man being a relative of one of our serving women. Thus I was left alone. But I felt no fear, for^we never had heard of burglars or'any sort of desperadoes in our quiet vil lage, then consisting of a few sca'fr tering houses.. The windows lead- ing'out into the piazza were; open as now' biit I" secured the blinds before n)y husband's departure, and locked the outside doorsall except the front one, which I left, for the dcotor to lebk after going out, so' that if I should fall asleep before his return, he could enter -sVithout arousing mo. . I heard the doctor's rapid footstep on ,the gravol, quick^- ened' by tho urgent -tones of the messenger, who awaited him, and after the sharp rattlo of the 'car; riage w'heels bad become but arj echo, I seated myself beside the! parlor nstral and soon became abi sorbed in the book I had been read-i ing before befing disturbed by the siimmona.

In' the midst of these terrifying refiect'ions I was startled by a stealthy.'footiail on the piazza. I listened betwceh-Lf'ear. and hope. It might be the doctor. ' But no, lie wo'iild not tread like that, the step was too Soft and .cautious for anything'less wily than a cat. . As I listened again,'my eyes were fixed on the window-blind. I saw the. slats move slowly and softly, arid then the rays of" a full moon djs- flosed a thin, cadaverous face, and bright, glittering eyes peering'Tit inc. Q, horror ! ,wlio was it I what was it?
